ONE Planet offers a cohort-based doctoral training partnership at Newcastle and Northumbria Universities. The Natural and Environmental Research Council (NERC) funds the partnership.

Ensuring that students are trained in key skills and the requisite knowledge base means that ONE Planet partners span industry, regulatory authorities to government with dedicated placements aligned with the Government’s Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund – aiming to bring together the UK’s world-leading research with business – clean growth and the knowledge economy.

The proximity of NCL and UNN allows ONE Planet to provide a series of core cohort activities to best develop the cohort experience, skills and expertise of students and ensure the development of graduates with the required skills.

Innovative ways of working

Our vision is to provide a training environment that develops and fosters innovative, transformative ways of working, under an open and supportive cohort-based community of researchers.

We aim to produce independent research scientists and future leaders. We work together to design sustainable transdisciplinary responses needed to address intensifying global change. Visit this video to find out more about how we are trying to make a difference.
